Help with uninstalling InDesign CS2

A month ago, I installed CS4 over CS2.
Then, InDesign CS4 did not work because of the conflict with AMD chip in my computer. So, uisng the original CS2 disk, all programs were uninstalled EXCEPT FOR INDESIGN CS2. The reason is that I wanted to use InDesign CS2 until the problem with CS4 is fixed.
Today, after installing InDesign CS4 update (it was a sort of plug), InDesign became working just fine. So I want to remove InDesign CS2. The problem was that I was not able to remove InDesign CS2 by Add or Remove Programs or with the original CS2 disk.
Please advise me how to uninstall InDesign CS2. In

  • Uninstall InDesign CS2

    Hi
    Can anyone please advise as to how manually uninstall InDesign CS2 and Version Cue CS2 on a mac? Adobe help gives instruction to uninstall Creative Suite CS2 wholesale in this link:
    Manually remove Adobe Creative Suite (2.x on Mac OS X)
    and gives a huge list of files to remove, like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. How does one determine which files are required to keep for other things, like stuff for later CS versions?
    Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

    I didn't say that the document is incorrect. But it seems to instruct you how to delete the whole CS2 suite and in particular the sub files/folders relating to the suite. The only note it gives regarding these sub files/folders is that anything with an asterisk next to the folder in the list might be required by other applications, and it only pertains to the Application Support in the User's Library and the Application Support in Library. There is also reminder to keep an eye on fonts required.
    However, if you want to keep, say, CS2 Illustrator, but not CS2 InDesign, how do you determine which of the sub files/folders the document lists to trash are necessary to keep for that individual program's requirement? For instance, I assume (even if wrongly) that some of the files such as Application/Adobe Help Centre, Application/Utilities/Adobe Utilities and other cache and preference folders are still required to run CS2 Illustrator.
    It might be a very straight forward albeit methodical task to go through dumping folders and files listed, but I'm just being very cautious in finding out earlier rather than later, what NOT to throw away in case it may cause problems once the files are dumped. I don't mean to cause offense!

  • If I made a brochure with Adobe InDesign CS3, can I still open it with Adobe InDesign CS2?

    Can it open it perfectly?

    > I'm on a tight to non-existent budget working for a nonprofit and I
    > purchased InDesign 1.0 for Windows. I am trying to open their
    > InDesign Exhchange (.inx) files exported from InDesign CS2.
    There is persistent confusion over the Creative Suite version numbers.
    Indesign CS2 (version 4.0) is three versions newer than Indesign 1.0
    (which was not part of any Creative Suite). You're not going to be able
    to do anything with Indesign 1.0 (or 1.5) except open Indesign 1.0 (or
    1.5) files.
    Indesign 1.0 came out in 1999, and the Indesign 1.5 upgrade came out in
    2001. Indesign CS2 came out in 2005. Your files are less than three
    years old, but you want to be able to open them with 10-year-old software.
    The only way you're going to be able to open ID CS2 files is if you get
    your hands on ID CS2 (version 4), CS3 (version 5), or CS4 (version 6).

  • Help needed uninstalling PS CS2 & CS3

    Hi, I have PS v7, CS2 & Creative Suite 3 design Premium on my late 2004 Mac iBook.
    After I installed Creative suite I used it for a short while then got the message Licencin for this product has stopped working, usinstall & reinstall.
    I did this 3 times & still got the same error message. I'm not sure if it's always after updating or even before.
    I needed to use PS while CS3 was stuck like that & so I opened CS2 & got the message Serious error has been detected. To continue using PS pls. uninstall & reinstall.
    I'm looking at this page
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331404
    & have trashed all the files mentioned that I have except
    3. Delete the Adobe folder from the Users/[User]/Library/Application Suppor
    This folder has 19 items in including a Lightroom folder & an XMP folder that I'm thinking I might miss if I delete. Shall I delete all but these?
    I've read I have to install CS2 1st before CS3 so I started uninstalling CS2 1st but I think if I uninstal CS3 with it's nice installer I can see what's left in this folder.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    After running the uninstaller for CS3 there are still 19 items in that Adobe folder in Applications support folder including one called Adobe Photoshop CS3 & another called Bridge CS3. The uninstaller didn't remove Acrobat 9 which had a separate install disc. There is also an Acrobat folder in that Adobe folder & an Air folder & a CS3 stock photos folder.
    There is also an adobe photoshop CS3 folder still in my applications folder with plugins & samples inside.
    I'm thinking to trash everything with CS3 in the name & leave the rest & hope it doesn't matter if some belong to CS2.
    Any advice?

  • Raw Beginner need help with Adobe Photoshop CS2

    I am reading Photoshop CS2 for digital photographers by Scott Kelby. I am looking at pg 55 if any one has this book and would like to visually see what I am about to describe. I own Adobe Photoshop CS2 software. After bringing up Adobe bride RAW on my PC, I then see all the settings, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation.. Located directly above all of these settings is Auto and Default which you can click on and adjust all settings at the same time. If you don't like what you see you click on Default to go back to the original, you can then make your adjustments individually. In my CS2 book there is an Auto box you can check or un-check beside each setting, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast. My question is how do I get the Auto box beside each setting so I can simply put a check in that box and preview changes individually instead of the Auto and Default on top which changes every setting at the same time? I hope this make since to you, if not I will try to explain again.

    Thank you Ramon for your help. I will just be happy with what I have, which works fine but I thought it might be better for me to have the individual Auto check box for each setting. Thank you for the tip to double-click the sliders to reset it to default, it works in CS2 also:) Actually this gives me more control and works out great now that I think about it. I am sure there are more handy little tips I should know about but don't because I am a beginner in learning RAW. Hopefully I'll stumble across a book or some thing over the internet that will help me with my learning curve.

  • Help with uninstall

    Some time ago I downloaded the  trial for Indesign CS4 (I  use CS3). I decided not to buy it and uninstalled the demo. Today, I needed to reinstall my photoshop cs3 and tried to do so from the original disk. It would  only let me reinstall both photoshop and indesign. Well ok, I'll do that,  but then it asked me to insert the Indesign CS4 disk and of course I couldn't so it would not finish the reinstall of photoshop. I no longer have the cs4demo installer so I can't try uninstalling it again. What do I do.

    Well, if you want to uninstall all of the CS4 stuff (which is what your post sounds like), then Google for "Adobe CS4 clean script," which will help you remove everything, at which point you can reinstall your Photoshop CS3.

  • I need help with uninstalling FP so I can install FP or some hemlock

    I cannot get flash player to install, uninstall so that I can install, as all the instructions tell us to do.  That insane crazy pop up that tells you to install FP, that you can only say no to so that it will go away is making me want to eat a bullet.  I cannot take it much longer.  I have no idea what to do.  And, the crazy thing is that I did do something a couple weeks ago that made it all stop and then somehow it started again. Sux to fix something but not know what you did, so that you break it again.  Anywho, I have tried everything from doing a manual install with the downloader, tried downloading an older vs, but I could not find one that was compatible with Vista, which is my operating system (32 bit).  I did go to the hyperlink provided on another persons delimna and the site said that I have the most current vs of FP installed.  But, it is not showing in my programs list nor is it in my files in my C drive, nor a trace of it in common files.  It is not in regedit in local machine/software/adobe.  I cannot find it, only the saved programs to uninstall or install it saved to desktop.  Wait, I just rechecked my programs and features and it shows flashplayer 10 Actuve X and shockwave player 11.5, both of which are not found anywhere else in my computer.  I am so weary of all of this.  I just need help.  Please, please please,  It is horrible because you have to have fp to run certain programs, but it will not run and I do not  know if this is a Adobe issue, Windows issue or a Vaio issue.

    Hokay, I have Norton 360, it is run regularily, I also ran ESET this week, I use malwarebytes, pest patrol, registry repair.  I took adaware and mcafee off my system as I was told that too many virus softwares conflict and can cause problems.  I have had my email stolen, along with the book, it appears someone stripped my email and sold it to a spammer.  It is not coming from my computer. Makes me very upset.  I have turned this into the FBI cyber crimes site, AOL and Yahoo, since the link emails in the details are yahoo accounts.  I get the spam emails as well.  Ppl who click on the hyperlinks, some of them are getting viruses, but as I said, these are not being generated by me, but rather from the web.  I hate these ppl.  My system appears clean.
    The pop ups are what everyone who is complaining about this issue are getting, I am assuming.  I am seeing this complaint all over.  Here is the information about the pop up:
    It pops up with any navigation you try to do in IE....any.  It will pop up ten times in a row during simple functions.  Makes you insane.  And the only way you can answer it is to click don't allow.  End of story.  over and over and over.  If you research, web wide you are told to uninstall FP and then reinstall, and there are hyper links provided to do it with, and then you are told to try doing it manually with the Adobe downloader.  NOTHING works.  I am truly so upset, I cannot use my laptop, a storm surge ate my desktop and I am waiting on insurance to replace that the the iPad is limited.  I have no idea which or what is the prob, IE, Adobe or Vaio, which is my make of computer.  But, this is so ridiculous.

  • Help with uninstalling "old" Adobe Reader

    Since I trust anything Adobe 100%, I did not hesitate to follow a link (contained in "Adobe for Andoid" email from you to me) to install Adobe Reader on my new NOOK HD+ 32.  IT IS A "BAD" LINK, details were forwarded to Adobe by Chrome Support 7-2-13.  What I have been told from Barnes and Noble, Chrome, Google and Adobe "HELP" Professionals  is to uninstall the download.
    You'd think even a 56 year old tech-novice could handle this, right?!?  I Can't because the "Unfortunately System UI message freezes everything up until I respond "okay".... Between my "okay" and typing the "uninstall "  address to my Search bar, the "UI' message has taken over my screen and has frozen every  click I know how to make.  After doing this 5+times, all of the icons begin to shake and then the page completely turns itself off.
    I am hoping someone is able to advise me how to "uninstall" from somehere other than my Nook.
    Thank you very much,
    Mizrallen623

    It's really hard to say what's going on without knowing more about the system. It's possible that the program is generating an FDF (Forms Data Format) file and launches it, causing the PDF to load and populate with the data in the FDF. Folks have reported that recent changes to Reader have broken this type of thing. So you may need to go back to an even earlier version, such as 9.2 or 9.3, or somehow contact the developers of the application for help.
    Is this something that happens in a web browser?

  • Help with uninstalling avast! completely

    I recently installed avast! free antivirus and it kept giving me a warning that some file (bootloader or something like that) had a warning because of it's "decompression rate". After some research, found out it was harmless and recommended that I uninstall avast! for an alternative. So I uninstall avast with the uninstaller it came with, however, now when I check my console log, every 10 seconds it shows a log for "com.avast.helper" that says "Error connecting to master socket:  connect ( ) : No such file in directory". How can I permanently stop this, and possibly remove any remaining fragments left from avast!? I tried going into my library, but the application folder for avast! was no longer there.

    It should have come with an uninstaller for you to use. Restart the computer after you uninstall.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • Need help with simple InDesign task!?

    I am trying to take about 30 pictures and create one big PDF booklet with captions on the pictures. My problem is, when I "place" these pictures in InDesign, the pictures show up like thumbnail size, these pics are all 712 x 1072, I have no clue why it shows up so small. How can I fix this? Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

    When this happened to me some time ago, I had no clue why it seemed to start suddenly. I still don't. However, the what is most likely that the default size or magnification for a placed graphic has been set to whatever you're seeing. I don't think I did this inadvertently, but I'm sure I didn't do it intentionally.
    I think replacing the preferences got rid of the problem without making me smarter about how to avoid it happening suddenly again.
    To replace preferences, quit InDesign, and before restarting, place the fingers of one hand lightly on the Command+Option+Shift+Control keys (on Macintosh) or Ctrl+Alt+Shift (on Windows), and as soon as you double click the InDesign icon with your other hand, to launch it, press all the keys and hold them down until you see an alert asking if you want to replace your preferences.
    If you have many carefully set preferences, you may want to search for information on how to save your preferences files, rather than destroy them this way. If replacing doesn't fix the problem, you can restore the preference files and restart, then perhaps consider reinstalling InDesign.

  • Help with Adobe InDesign -opening pdf's & Plug-ins please

    Hi Steve, a year ago I opened a PDF and edited the wording in indesign…
    You may be mis-remembering that. There are programs like PDF2ID that will convert a PDF into an InDesign file that can be edited, but they essentially recreate the elements of the PDF to the best of their ability and usually require tweaking to get to look exactly like the original. If you did this on your own computer, you would know if you had one of these programs, but if you did it at a job, they might have had something that you don't have now.
    And there are tools to edit PDFs that you can search for, but many people consider PDF to be the final format in the design stage, and if editing is needed, it is recommended to be done in the design phase, which is usually the live InDesign file from which the PDF has been generated. If all you have is the PDF, you may want to consider using an editor, but only if you can't find the original files.

  • Please help with an Indesign Post Card Problem!

    Greetings!   I am in need of some help!  I am trying to create a post card in InDesign and then send it to a printing company.  I sent my finished product to the company and they stated that it would not work out well.  The font is too small, pictures are too fuzzy, dimensions are off, etc...  I am confused because after reading and researching how to create a 4x6 post card in Indesign, I am still doing something wrong.  Please, please help! Thank you for your time.

    They would like a 4"x6" PDF.  I only need to create the design for the front of the post card, not the back.
    They said:
    "From the PDF send earlier, I see that you are working in Adobe InDesign.
    The document size I believe you are trying to achieve is a postcard 6" wide by 4" tall.
    Please make sure your document size is set up accordingly within InDesign; also make sure it has a bleed edge of 0.125" on all four sides.
    Make sure that your images are 300 dpi, and to size; if you have a small photo and you are trying to enlarge the image may come out "fuzzy.""
    How do I set up my document as a 4"x6" and how do I make sure my photos are 300 dpi?
    How do I upload a screenshot?  Says the image is forbidden.
    Thanks for helping!

  • Help with installing illustrator CS2

    when trying to install my full version of adobe illustrator CS2 my system informed me that I couldn't because my hard disk was a non HFS volume and that it needed to be formatted as HFS...how do I do this???
    thanks

    When you installed OS X did you format the drive for the Unix Filesystem or for Mac OS Extended? If it is formatted Mac OS Extended perhaps the drive is corrupted. Try repairing the drive.
    Disk formatting and repair is done using the Disk Utility located in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.
    If your drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+) and the drive is OK, then perhaps there is a problem with the Adobe installer in which case you need to contact Adobe for support because these forums do not provide third-party support.
